    Travel Out of the country while waiting for PR Inland?

    Yes, it's possible. Work Permit is not a travel document, so you need a valid ETA or TRV. Check this past debate regarding the meaning...

    April 2025 - Inland Spousal Sponsorship

    Well...I would say that these cases are exceptions. Everyone wants a final decision asap, but we need to be realistic based in the most cases. IRCC always plays a random game. Good luck.

    IRCC has processed your application fast. My spouse is an April 9 applicant and only got a biometric request. Well... you might get WP. Who knows?! IRCC is unpredictable.

    Out of Status SOWP Timeline

    That's a good question. I have a friend who was out of status and applied for WP last February. Nothing so far. He sent his application in September 2024. After this waiting time, I think that he won't get his WP. Could you share your timeline?

    Sponsor Eligibility Issue

    Apparently there is nothing wrong for your eligibility to become a sponsor. You are just a bit paranoid and confused with Citizenship requirement - absolutely different! Just relax a bit. SA is important, but what cause delay for the application is PA background and eligibility.

    COPR

    This is a very basic information. I'm surprise that you did not know about it. After COPR you can apply for Permanent Resident Card. That's the document that allow you to travel abroad. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/permanent-residents/card/apply.html

    after 11 month waiting, what should I do?

    There is nothing that you can do. Some people might suggest you to apply for GCMS notes. In my opinion still is not necessary. Just relax a bit and wait.

    Is it possible to cause a delay in your spouse sponsorship application

    This is an important matter for spouses who are facing an abusive relationship. You don't have to stay in an abusive relationship to keep your status in Canada.
